Letters to the Editor

We Americans like war more than good health

Here’s a question: Why is it that this country knows how to go to war with Iraq, send hundreds of thousands of soldiers, many to die, ship loads of equipment, and spend trillions of dollars, all on a place thousands of miles from our shores, but we just can’t figure out how to give decent health care to all our citizens right here in the U.S?

Maybe, just maybe, it’s because we just like war a lot more than we like good health. What do you think?
